To find the coordinates A' and B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/3 centered at the origin, we multiply each coordinate of A and B by the scale factor.
The coordinates of A' would be (x, y) = (1/3 * -6, 1/3 * 3) = (-2, 1).
The coordinates of B' would be (x, y) = (1/3 * -12, 1/3 * 9) = (-4, 3).
Therefore, the correct answer is choice a: A'(-2, 1) and B'(-4, 3).
select the coordinates A' and B' after dilation of the line segment AB with a scale factor of 1/3, centered at the origin where the endpoints are A(-6, 3) and B(-12, 9).
a A'(-2, 1) and B'(-4, 3)
b A'(-6, 3) and B'(-4, 3)
c A'(-18, 9) and B'(-36, 27)
d A'(-2, 1) and B'(-12, 9)
